We’ll explore atoms, molecules, chemical reactions, states of matter, electricity and more, using the principles of the scientific method. Each class period will include at least one lab-style chemical experiment, like freezing Instant Ice or creating a Density Rainbow. Through testing predictions and practicing critical thinking, we’ll explore the world of Chemistry, and above all… have fun!

If safety equipment like goggles are required, they will be provided - although all experiments are kid friendly. **This is a year-long course** but it’s not necessary for students to take both semesters. Fall and Winter/Spring semesters will cover different topics and feature different chemistry experiments.

Grades 1 - 3

People often tell me that they cannot draw. My answer is always the same: “Everybody can draw. You first need to learn how to see.” When you learn to play an instrument, you learn to identify the sound of the notes and you should practice often to become good. That is the same with drawing. This semester we will look at the works of famous artists throughout history and create drawings based on their techniques and styles, and we will study the science of drawing (perspective and lighting), mixed in with doodling techniques, and other fun exercises. Each student will need a sketchbook (minimum size 8”x10”) and will be expected to draw in it regularly outside of class. We will provide all other materials, but students are welcome to bring their own supplies.

Grades 1 - 5

The world has changed recently and this has affected all of us: children, parents and grandparents. Many times children are confused about what is happening in the world and are not sure how to express their thoughts and feelings. Sometimes children (and adults) are not even sure what they are feeling or how to read their body signals to help them figure out how they are feeling. In this class, the students will be learning about feelings, their body signals that tell them information about how they feel, and how to express their emotions in helpful ways. These skills and more will be practiced in a fun, thoughtful, and creative manner through different activities, such as a variety of games, stories, art, music, role-playing and mindfulness.

Whether your child has taken my class before, or they are taking it for the first time, they will have fun making friends and learning about themselves. Your children will practice skills such as self-regulation, executive functioning, listening, respectful communication, giving and receiving help, and working cooperatively and fairly in groups. Students will also practice being mindful of our diverse cultures by building group cohesion, acceptance of differences, and the ability to understand different points of view.

Your child will discover their own superpower and celebrate other’s super-powers!

Grades 3 - 5

Dance has been an important part of ceremony, celebrations and entertainment since before the birth of the earliest human civilizations. Simultaneously, fashion has greatly influenced these styles of movement, it’s culture, and people who practice them. Let’s have fun while moving, connecting and learning about the CULTURAL HISTORY OF DANCE and FASHION! Students will learn the dance forms and create a fashion piece centered around the dance forms of tap, flamenco and the waltz

DANCE STYLES:

TAP DANCE originated in the United States in the early 19th century at the crossroads of African and Irish American dance forms. When slave owners took away traditional African percussion instruments, slaves turned to percussive dancing to express themselves and retain their cultural identities.

FLAMENCO combines Roma and Spanish cultures. Dances are performed to intricate music and dance movements are very emotional. Although multiple instruments were initially used to accompany flamenco dancing, the guitar eventually became dominant.

The WALTZ originated from Austria and Bayern in the Germanic region of Europe. It spread from there throughout Europe, where it became very popular as well as infamous.

Beginners 1, Grade 3-4

The course is based on the book, Mathematical Adventure with ORMC, Level 1, "UCLA Math Circle"
From Optical Illusions to Fighting Dragons, by Dr. Gleizer and Dr. Radko. Beginners 1 is a two-year-long enrichment course for children in grades two through four.
The course is designed for mathematically inclined children 7 to 10 years of age. There are 33 lessons in the book. Each lesson takes two to three 50-minute-long sessions to cover. Each lesson is followed by homework. The lessons cover topics including advanced problem solving, graph theory, Roman and binary numbers, one-sided surface known as the Mobius strip, and vectors in the plane. We study the latter in the How to Kill a Dragon game.
To succeed in the course, a child needs to have some basic familiarity with long addition and subtraction as well as with multiplication of two-digit numbers. This level of mathematical prowess is usually achieved in the fourth grade of a standard US school. If your child is ahead of their grade level, they can start this course as early as in the second grade.

Beginners 2, Grade 5-6
Beginners 2 is based on the book, Math Adventures with ORMC, Level 2 "UCLA Math Circle" , From Ciphers to Nets of Solids, by Dr. Gleizer and Dr. Radko.
The course is designed for mathematically inclined children 9 to 12 years of age. There are 20 lessons in the book. Each lesson takes two to three 50-minute-long sessions to cover. Each lesson is followed by homework. The lessons cover the topics including ciphers, functions, solids and projections, introduction to logic and microchip design, and more.
